Weekly Wrap-up: Reliance VOOT, Freecharge Juice, OnePlus X & More…

It’s Monday morning and time to do a quick wrap-up of the posts published on trak.in last week. If you were offline for any reason, this is a great way to catch up with all the tech buzz.

Apple Watch, which was included in our list of most innovative inventions of 2014, would be launched in India next month. November 6th is the date when one of the most anticipated wearable gadgets from Apple, would be finally available in India.

Led by Reliance Industries, Viacom18’s digital arm will soon launch an online video-on-demand service which would cater to the restless, always-on-the-go generation of Internet savvy Indian netizens. Named as VOOT, their logo and brand identity was recently unveiled.

World Bank has released their updated global ranking of “Ease of Doing Business”, and there is some massive improvement in India’s position. Compared to last year, we have jumped 12 spots to be ranked at 130 out of 189 countries. Last year, we were ranked 142 in this same list, as we had actually slipped two positions.

Roadrunnr, India’s leading B2B hyperlocal logistics company has launched a new service called ‘Mailbox’ in order to resolve issues and reduce costs of missed deliveries to customers who order their products online.

Mark Zuckerberg’s justification of Free Basics (previously called Internet.org) was laughable to say the least. The questions which were asked by eager audience members too failed to warm up the event, as issues such Candy Crush requests and super-human powers were discussed, wasting the valuable & important opportunity which existed there.

Airtel, India’s largest telecom operator with over 232 million subscribers have announced new data benefits for their mobile internet users. New data deals and offers include Data Cashback, Family Data Share, Smartphone Surprises and other benefits that will be offered to customers free of cost.
